Muslims believe that moral values are not just limited to believers but are universal and apply to all of humanity. 🏵️🏵️🏵️
This belief is supported by the teachings of Islam, as evidenced by the following verses and hadith:
1. In the Quran, Allah (SWT) says, "Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, the poor, the near of kin, the stranger (yaqīn), and the (freed) slave. Surely, Allah enjoins justice, the doing of good, and giving to kinsfolk. And He forbids indecency, evil, and transgression. He admonishes you that you may take heed" (17:23-24).
This verse emphasizes the importance of treating others with kindness, compassion, and justice, regardless of their religious beliefs or social status.
2. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Beware! Whosoever is cruel and hard on a non-Muslim minority (dhimmi) buried under the shade of my Ummah (community), I will be against him on the Day of Judgment" (Bukhari).
This hadith highlights the importance of treating non-Muslims with kindness and respect, as they are also protected by Islamic law.
3. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also said, "Whoever believes in God and the Last Day should speak a word of justice (i.e., truth) or keep silent" (Bukhari).
This hadith emphasizes the importance of speaking the truth and being just, which is a universal moral value that applies to all of humanity.
4. In another hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "The most beloved deed to Allah is that which is most beneficial to the people. He (Allah) said: 'Feed the hungry, pray to Allah for the sick and release the one in captivity'" (Bukhari).
This hadith highlights the importance of helping and serving others, regardless of their religious beliefs or social status.
These verses and hadith illustrate that moral values in Islam are not just limited to believers but are universal and apply to all of humanity.
Muslims are encouraged to treat others with kindness, compassion, justice, and respect, regardless of their religious beliefs or social status.
